Vaio's often have the USB ports tied in with other widgets, for example on mine my USB ports are linked to the Memory Stick reader. The power management is flaky too.
The only way I can get AS to work consistently is to unplug all other USB peripherals and plug in a powered USB hub, then plug the cradle into that. It's ridiculous, not very portable, and a real pain.
However, if you get rid of the Sony Bluetooth stuff (Bluespace etc), install XP SP2, you should be able to get AS working over Bluetooth. Of course that only applies if both laptop and Pocket PC have built-in Bluetooth...
Note that AS over wifi through my router is flawless and much quicker than other methods. But again, only applies if you have a router and a wifi network...
I don't think my next laptop will be a Vaio. Superb design, poor drivers and crippled, proprietary software...
